I finished the entire manga series before the anime and the differences are EXTREMELY noticeable. First off, they left out most of the good scenes and dialogues from the manga and only included a few of them in the anime, if at all. I guess the producers wanted a more 'kid friendly' show since they didn't show Midori's childhood friend (forgot name) showing attraction to Seiji. Maybe it's just me..

lol.I really don't think it was "kid friendly" coz' there were a lot of scenes showing midori's boobs..

I show the anime 1st then the Manga version. Both are kinda expected to me cause I know that the anime doesn't go into much details on the certain part of it. But on the Overall I like it and wasn't much of a disappointed.

to me, it was a bit disappointing how they didn't really developped a lot the supporting characters, especially Kouta. (no hilarous ambigous Yaoi with Seiji, his devotion to Midori was kinda cut in half, seriously.)
in fact, the plot was far less cluttered by fillers, compared to its manga counterpart (that was really a good point, where the manga was really going overboard, a la Love Hina), but the critical plot devices weren't really written pretty well. (Seiji's Choice about Midori didn't have any impact in the anime, while in the manga, it was a critical dilemna, meaning an end, but also a beginning)

it was really enjoyable, but it wasn't really faithful to the original main plot.
as a side note, i felt the "Takako FULL ATTACK MODE day" in the anime was much better than its dull clusmy manga counterpart.
both versions are kinda completing each other.

The ending is left open for your own interpretation but maybe it helps if you read the last chapter again (and look at the actual pictures as well as the words).

Spoiler for Manga ending:

The last chapter shows that Seiji was about to burn the diary that Midori wrote (while she was his right hand) but he was interrupted by the "real" Midori confessing her love. A month later he buys her a new diary and the final image we see is that of the new diary beside the small diary with the words "Hey, Midori...", "Yes, Seiji?".

I take this to mean that Seiji didn't burn the small diary but gave it to Midori after he gave her the new diary. This would mean that she eventually learns of her being Seiji's right hand. I would assume that whoever wrote the comments in Wiki came to the same conclusion but clearly this viewpoint is only implied.

Edit: And of course there is a 4-koma at the end of the last volume that does actually state she read the diary so I guess it isn't down to any interpretation anymore

Thanks alot. I completely had forgotten that Midori no hibi was in this section. It had been such a long time since i last saw midori no hibi. By chance few days ago i watched a few episode again but it had been like 3 years since i thought about it. Well you should then probably merge the thread in the license section with this one too . Sorry for the trouble .

Also the last pages were in japanese so i couldnt read. gotta find an english version i guess .
